Care and cleaning

Warning! Refer to Safety
chapters.

Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe
them clean to ensure they are clean and
free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
every time the motor compressor stops,
during normal use. The defrost water drains
out through a trough into a special container
at the back of the appliance, over the motor
compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole in the middle of the
refrigerator compartment channel to
prevent the water overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside.
For this purpose use the tube cleaner
provided in the accessory bag.

temperature to save energy unless it is
required by the characteristics of the food.

Defrosting of the freezer

Caution! Never use sharp metal
tools to scrape off frost from the
evaporator as you could damage
it.
Do not use a mechanical device or
any artificial means to speed up
the thawing process other than
those recommended by the
manufacturer.
Do not use the supplied ice
scraper to prepare food.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting
set a lower temperature in order
to build up sufficient chill reserve
in case of any interruption in
operation.
A certain amount of frost will always form on
the freezer shelves and around the top
compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
1. Switch off the appliance or pull out
electrical plug from the wall socket.
2. Remove any stored food and put it in a
cool place.
Caution! A temperature rise
of the frozen food packs
during defrosting may
shorten their safe storage life.
Do not touch frozen goods
with wet hands. Hands can
freeze to the goods.
3. Leave the door open. Protect the floor
from the defrosting water e.g. with a
cloth or a flat vessel.
4. In order to speed up the defrosting
process, place a pot of warm water in the
freezer compartment. In addition,
remove pieces of ice that break away
